MAZDA 62013 · 2.2L Diesel

The 2013 Mazda 6 demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT on 2025-07-19 at 151,331 miles, which recorded no defects. This follows a pattern of consistent passing results in 2024 and 2023, despite two instances of failed tests on the same dates (2024-07-09 and 2023-07-18) with identical mileages. While the repeated failures without recorded defects may indicate administrative errors or unreported issues, the absence of mechanical failures in the latest test suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements. No critical structural or safety risks are evident from the record. The vehicle’s mileage of 151,331 miles over 13 years equates to an average of 11,641 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. However, the gap between the 2023 and 2024 MOTs shows a 5,000-mile increase in just 12 months, potentially reflecting heavier use or inconsistent maintenance. The 2024-07-09 tests at 134,953 and 134,951 miles—differing by just 2 miles—raise questions about data accuracy, though no mechanical issues were flagged. The record lacks significant gaps, indicating regular testing, but the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into long-term wear trends. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which often degrade with high mileage. The brakes, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or corrosion, as these components are critical for safety. Structural integrity should also be assessed, focusing on rust in underbody areas or chassis joints, as the vehicle’s age and mileage increase vulnerability. While the MOT history shows no immediate risks, these checks will confirm whether the car’s mechanical condition remains sound beyond documented tests.
